Have you ever asked yourself: "Do I really want to be a dev?". Maybe one wants to be an artist, y'know.

My new place to visit while my Github actions is doing its thing:

eye of sauron micromanagement coming down as i have hardly a clue what im doing and my plans are only stable until i am metaphorically punched in the face as per mike tyson's quote

if it works to improve me, then good enough

Love seeing the expected delivery time of a delivery slowly slide from the morning into the afternoon (including the latests at!) -_-

And these guys don't always ring the bell, so I need to listen to a running truck thingy and the beep as they scan the package.

And it's dev related stuff ;p

For a long time, I vouch for non-2FA because I expect it to be against me earlier than being a benefit. Now, I have the mail server down. I need to login to repair it. I login and out of nowhere: 2FA. It sent the code to my e-mail. Ok, I'm fucked. So I call their phone number and that said "Sorry, we can't respond in person because of the high load (smth like that)". Well, this is an issue that an automated bot won't fix for sure.

This server isn't fixed anytime soon. But the 2FA, I knew it! Please make it optional and don't force it on users. Through e-mail is a bad idea by design, do a SMS or something, something that is not depended on the hosting services.

Do any of you here have a relation to Firefox?

I posted a rant like 9 months ago about a VERY small specific bug in Firefox.

And since the last update, it's fixed lol.

The bug was:

When in Firefox and pressing WIN + F11, Firefox went into full-screen mode (probably just checked F11 without the WIN modifier).

Now it does not lol. Well, win for me, win for Firefox, and feels great.

(I have a custom global shortcut for WIN + F11.)

An other week without a backend, an other week closer to the deadline... Less than 2 months to go (excl 2 weeks of PTO :D)

Yesterday I installed lineageOS on my old android phone, patched the kernel and rooted it so I can get docker working. Took me hours, didn't know how hard it was for docker to run on a phone.

Ended up setting up a fileserver that will be running 24/7 on my home network, should probably check if there's a kdbx compatible password manager that I can host also cuz I am tired of having to constantly manage the latest version of my db between different devices

Updates on my current resignation situation: 55 days are over, 35 days remaining. i haven't got a single interview call(yes not even an hr call!?!) since I put open to work on linkedin. I am thinking of rescinding my resignation

Here are some points about my current org, help me decide:

1. Physical
+ 3days wfo, 34km away from home (the next silicon valley area is around 500km far, in another state)
- 2hrs of commute from home, no energy left after work time is over

2. Tech
+ We are using very latest tech in softwares, the leaders are pushing for us to learn AI as well.
- there aren't much people with in depth knowledge, its like enough monkeys with typewriters will produce a shakespeare somehow

3. People and culture:
+ People are very energetic, vocal and fast paced
+ Work is done under ever "improving"(changing) ruleset, with discipline and in a process oriented manner
+ I have been here for almost 3 years, so have a decent professional relationship with team
- rules are made and applied according to convenience. People playing good games seems to work around these rules
- unrealistic deadlines and over work
- Too much pressure to "outshine" and "go over and above" to even expect a basic appreciation
- non respctful, shouting culture, people are not really friends but rather playing the "survival of the fittest, loudest and most aggresive" game

4. Brand
+ Company's name is reputable, its known for rarely ever doing layoffs and people have a sense of security
+ My salary is decent, marketworthy for the role that I am in (SE1)
- with 5+ yoe, both my role and salary is not as per market standards (should be atleast SE2)

@ostream see DM's on Snek, I delivered. Enable Snek notification system! It's almost not annoying!

and it doesnt work

Soo.. I bought a Transcend SSD and I wanted to make a backup of my _current_ backup ssd.

Bought it, plugged it up and fired up rsync. Although Transcend declares the SSD seq writes are up to >1G/s, it was at least x10 slower than that. Eventually all was copied. Wat surprised me was the disk usage.

Here are both the filesystems: the source and the destination (Transcend)

P.S. damn, imags are down.. attaching plaintext

LMAO was in live today and I tried to implement smth, it doubled the livetime (it didnt work)

belgian justice:

"Bookkeeping" is the most Dutch looking English word ever!

Everyone knows nVidia is a bubble. Even fucking Bloomberg is reporting on the circular flow of money between nVidia/OpenAI/Intel/AMD/Anthropic/CoreWeave/Oracle (remember, Oracle's first customer for its first 3 years was the CIA).

Even the US Government has put money into this scam by propping up 10% of Intel for .. national security or something?

So everyone can see this bubble clearly. Can anything be done about it? How do you keep a bubble from destroying everything when it's in plain sight?

Whoever is able to hold their shorts for nVidia is going to make a shit-ton (*not financial advice)

HDOOM!
Really a good version of Doom, many gameplay improvements.
Thinking of doing my own Doom maps !

i dont know frontend or react

now toss in nextjs and pandacss

why the fuck is some box from @styled-system/jsx' possibly squishing the height of an image

why the fuck is my color not being applied to the existing <Image , the existing approach could be wrong

how is it that there's new frameworks and libraries coming out all the time ,but front end development hasn't been solved to be retard proof so i can do it
